Notable moves
Hard-hitting attacks, one per type, from 61 indexed learnset moves. This list is not an M-C legality check.
Editorial sample teams
Two dragons apply immediate pressure with Extreme Speed priority and speed control. Gyarados takes the Mega slot for a Mold Breaker Dragon Dance, Incineroar keeps the tempo with Intimidate, and Kingambit closes — Supreme Overlord climbs with every fainted ally.
Every slot attacks. Grimmsnarl's Prankster gives Reflect and Light Screen priority, halving incoming damage for five turns while Volcarona (Quiver Dance) and Dragonite (Dragon Dance) set up behind the screens. Kingambit's Supreme Overlord closes exactly when the team needs it most.
